In what could have been a serious accident resulting in injuries and casualties, a truck driver averted the situation by saving commuters and pedestrians when his brakes failed him on the Kpata Market in Lokoja today.
The driver in a bid to avoid running into other cars and pedestrians was able to control the trailer loaded with coal.
According to eyewitnesses who spoke to Nationalwatch Tv, the driver did well in the heat of the moment and was able to avoid a much more grievous situation.
“We were here in the night when we heard the car honking in its approach and then we saw the driver drove into the hedge and subsequently into the gutter.
“He intentionally drove there, his brakes had failed him and he would’ve run into people and other vehicles. But he was able to save everyone and himself, nobody including himself got injured,” the eye witness told Nationalwatch Tv.
As at the time Nationalwatch Tv reporters arrived at the scene, the truck loaded with coal was still at the scene without any attention.
